Hello! I try to use a background image in my plot: import matplotlib.pyplot as plt im = plt.imread("WTunnel.png") plt.xlim([-3,4]) plt.ylim([-0.01,0.05]) plt.plot(some stuff) plt.imshow(im, aspect="auto", extent=(-5, 4, -0.01, 0.05)) This works more or less. As far as I understand the extent ar

[Matplotlib-users] Tutorial to object-oriented API

2009-09-15 Thread Florian Lindner
